State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki, attempting to spin a report quoting John Kerry saying Israel risks becoming an “apartheid state,” cited the lefty blog Daily Kos as a reference source:
Dailykos prev wrote about other leaders ref apartheid, but not mentioned in storyhttp://t.co/wTp85NC3MC

The Daily Kos? “Wacky Friday” has come early this week:
To be clear, the State Dept. is quoting the site of a guy who said this about the dept's own security contractors. pic.twitter.com/mRWgJzysMt
